I am thankful that my family loves to get out in nature and explore the trails, trees, bugs, plants and more. However, because of my adventurous side and my children… I MUST learn what poison ivy/oak looks like. Because quite frankly, I am tired of being itchy and scratchy!!
Thank goodness for calamine lotion and Benadryl! Thank GOD that I am the only one who got poison ivy/oak and not my children.
For future reference for upcoming hikes, camping trips, and outdoor adventures… here is what Poison ITCHY NO-GOOD plants look like:
Poison Oak
Poison Ivy
Poison Sumac
If you want to see more pictures of what these plants look like and ways to prevent, treat, and learn more check out This Site and This Site.
You may have already heard of it, but there is some stuff called Technu that works great. It’s specifically for Poison oak, ivy. We get it at our drugstore. Might be worth a try!!
